cropzy Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Okay guys so RIF's are allowed to be sent via parcelforce but my question is. Do you have to declare it?
team flex Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 I just filled in the form, no lying and then printed it off and sent it off. Arrived with the owner in very good condition, I am very happy with parcelforce
Josh95 Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 i sent 2 rifs with pf, just put my ukara no. inside just incase
Supporters Lozart Posted March 15, 2015 Supporters Posted March 15, 2015 I always declare it. That way there's no debate if there's an issue. Make sure you get sufficient insurance too.
AK47frizzle Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 I had to when i sent parts, just say it's a toy. Sometimes they'll ask if it's metal, plastic, has batteries etc... I just said metal frame for a toy. I'd avoid saying the word "gun" cuz that isn't usually associated with nice things Especially when your posting it as well.
AirsoftTed Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 I usually declare it as a toy or sporting goods.
Tramples Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 I use UPS, cheaper and quicker and don't have to declare anything.
Happy Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Regularly use them - just declare it when you ship it or they can flag it.
kerby91 Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Dude just send via parcel force 48hr express, cost u £15. Declare it...if they seize it and I don't get my ump ill be pissed haha! Seriously pal, its easy as cropzy 1
Supporters SeniorSpaz87 Posted March 15, 2015 Supporters Posted March 15, 2015 Haha, I'm gonna be in the same boat as you kerby. Also, If you are sending gas mags shouldn't you empty them?
straffham Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Declare it as a RIF if its a RIF when you post it, Parcelforce 48 are fine with carrying them (though Post Office staff don't always know this), make sure its tracked & insured, something like a UMP will be around £12 -15, best to put your and their UKARA nos on in the to/from addresses, but (especially if it involves airmail at any point) DON'T send batteries with it as they are basically banned by PF unless new in original packaging, or gas mags for same reason (anything that is or CAN BE pressurized). If you want to risk sending a battery post it in a jiffy envelope or small box seperately (at least if it doesn't get there its better than having the rif destroyed).
